GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS
Get 1 cup of honey, a tablespoon of fresh ginger grated and 2 tablespoons from a squeezed lemon for making this cough medicine.
COMBINING GINGER AND HONEY
Put the grated ginger into the honey in a saucepan and stir it well. Make sure that every bit of ginger is spread out evenly through all of the honey.
HEATING AND SIMMERING
Put the mixture on low heat and stir slowly to mix it together. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes to mix the tastes.
ADDING LEMON JUICE
After leaving the heat, mix in some fresh lemon juice. This will blend well with the honey and ginger mixture you have made.
COOLING AND STRAINING
Wait for the syrup to reach room temperature, then use a fine-mesh strainer to remove any ginger chunks. This makes sure your syrup is smooth and without bits.
STORAGE
Put the syrup in a clean, sterile jar with a tight lid. Make sure it's securely shut for keeping and storing.
DOSAGE AND USAGE
Use 1-2 small spoonfuls of the ginger honey syrup when needed to help with coughing and sore throats. Keep the syrup in a cool and dark spot.
CONCLUSION
Making ginger honey cough syrup at home is a natural way to help with coughs and throat pain. It's nice when you feel bad or need some relief. Talk to a doctor before using the syrup, especially for kids.
